GOD this is long i'm really sorry

When Beck first met R in the Blaster ride, he hadn't been too sure about him. He was a User, that much he knew of...but a very odd User. Tron hadn't told him very many stories of the Users and the User world, but he never thought that the they would be so limited in vocabulary. And they didn't leak black goop all the time. And they didn't have this very odd look in their eyes. From the way Tron described them, they were very much like Programs...only a little different here and there. But these Users...?

The one with yellow eyes comes toward him again. Beck just manages to free himself from the old User's grip when he feels something wrap itself tightly around this throat. There's a rather unpleasant twinging feeling in the front of his neck, and he feels his body tense at the sudden movement. But when his body demands to draw in a breath...he can't. Beck makes a surprised choking kind of sound, staggering to the side as her weight throws him right off balance. His body tries a second time, and has the same results. His movements grow more frantic, and something inside of him starts to burn.

Beck grits his teeth and strikes out with his elbow, aiming to hit at least something, before another body comes flying straight into him. He grunts as the impact sends him stumbling a the second time, and the worst thing happens then- he falls right to his knees.

This is where the panic starts to kick in.

He looks down to the User that had tackled him, and is horrified by what he sees. Sure, it had been a little bit of a shock to see such a gruesome sight at the Blasters, but now? There's black stuff leaking out his mouth and going everywhere, and there's some kind of gray, emptiness in its eyes. The same kind of emptiness he had seen in Cutler after his reprogramming...

Beck struggles to find his footing, but that's when he feels it. A sharp, stinging twinge in his leg that only grows worse with every milicycle. He doesn't even see the third User coming towards him as he tries to get up a third time, and fails. There's too much going on. He can't straighten up, he can't breathe...he can't even see right. His heart is pounding away in his chest, and every muscle in his body aches and strains as he fights to regain himself.

He raises an arm, preparing to bash his elbow right into the drooling User's head. He doesn't want to, but-

And that's when he feels something grab right for his arm...and the second bite. It's a small kind of pain that quickly turns into a flaring agony, enough to leave his arm entirely numb. Beck lets out a strangled yell as he feels the teeth cutting into flesh, into something deeper and boarder and completely unknown to him.

These can't be normal Users. This can't end this way. Beck won't let it.
He won't

He's tired, and he's in pain, and his thoughts are moving at a million cycles an hour, but he battles to straighten himself up against the group, lashing out with whatever limbs he can still feel, with whatever strength he has left....
